I have always wanted to cook with zucchini but doubted its taste. After seeing these baby zucchinis i couldn't stop bringing some home. They were very cute, petite, round and firm. My first experience wasn't that bad as i thought earlier., i made a very simple curry with onions and green chillies. The curry tasted so good and now I'm very much open to experiment with these zuccinis.. The skin was so soft and thin you need not even peel it, and i found its taste very close to ridge gourd. The best part with the zuccini, it cooked in no time.

Ingredients:2 small round baby zuccinis or 1 long zuccini1 small red onion1 long Thai green chilli or 3 small regular Indian chilliesfew chopped cilantro leaves

I found this above picture very interesting for the CLICK - METAL event by Jugalbandi..

Preparation:Chop zuccini into 1 inch cubes and onions very fineIn a kadai or saute pan, heat oil and add mustard and coriander seedsOnce they start to pop, add turmeric, green chillies and chopped onionSaute for 1 min and add the chopped zucciniCook until the zuccini and softADD SALT ONLY ONCE THE ZUCCHINI IS COOKEDTake off from the heat and add chopped coriander

We had this with steamed hot rice, you can even serve this with rotis/ chapathis / tortillas.. Do adjust the spice( green chillies ) to your taste.
